All that mattered was that the people she liked also liked her and so far that hadn't been a problem. "Hazards aren't bad once you know your way around them." She replied, not only in relation to herself but life itself. Some of the best things out their were also potentially life threatening and/or bad for ones health. "At this rate though, I wouldn't share a single thing with any of them. Not dental hygiene tips and most certainly nothing that could save their lives--unless there's something in it for me." As it happened, Alexa Cambridge had never been raised to be nice to those who'd slighted her. It just didn't work that way.
If she looked carefully enough, she could see the way Rhydian reacted to Fox's name and it might have prompted a whole nother conversation in itself but then he mentioned Downtown London and all the noises and dinner. "That's perfect though! You don't need to muffle the noises, they're meant to remind you you're alive and not living in a bubble. If I decided to stay in the country for the night I'm usually on that side of town--you should have told me sooner, I really could have popped by!" On those few nights she ever bothered to be in England anymore that is. "We can leave together after work." She was becoming more cheerful by the moment. "Do I get to pick what you cook?" All her words really needed was a knowing smile. Wasn't it just the truth, the words she spoke? Really, why hadn't the examiners let her in? He couldn't think of the foggiest idea. And his grin, said just as much.
Stuffing the rest of his sandwich down his gullet, Rhydian replaced the smile with a shrug. "Think there's something called 'passing the bar'." Or was that some sort of muggle term? At any rate, the concept stood.
Lex was going to have to give something if she wanted to become an Auror. Having her stubborn attitude repeatedly, while endearing for those who knew and appreciated her, was not going to serve her well on any sort of test or examination. But they could work on that later. For now, the sun was getting high and the hour dragging on. "I like living in a bubble." Didn't she totally know? Standing and cracking his back, Rhydian offered his hand down to her to help her off the bench. Not that it was needed, but chivalry and such. Or so he liked to think. "And I wasn't done decorating. Didn't want to get the full ear about lacking furniture of mismatched colors."
Lex and her family did seem to have a thing about interior decorating after all. "As long as it has something green in it, I suppose you can pick."
